It's true! He can't defund them, Congress holds the pursestrings. Too bad they also voted Red up and down the ticket, meaning that Congress sure can take away funding, and he can happily approve it.
But he can make it an utter fucking mess for those funds to be distributed.
He makes the best messes. Everybody's saying it. Some people, not him, but the best people says he makes the biggliest messes. Yuge!
